OKLAHOMA CITY – After leading the MACU volleyball team to a crucial Sooner Athletic Conference road victory at Wayland Baptist on Sept. 10 and a strong challenge of Oklahoma Panhandle State on Sept. 11, senior libero Maegan Plunk earned her second consecutive SAC Defender of the Week award on Monday.
For the week, Plunk finished with 63 digs, averaging 6.3 digs per set. In the win over the Pioneers on Friday, the Mineola, Texas product tied the fourth-most digs in a single match in program history when she notched 36, her third mark in MACU's top five.
Plunk followed it up with a 27-dig effort in a hard-fought five-set loss to SAC-leading Oklahoma Panhandle State, where the Evangels were narrowly clipped 16-14 in the final set.
So far this season, Plunk has amassed 273 digs, the eighth-most in the NAIA on a 5.25 digs per set clip, which also ranks 21st in the nation.
Mid-America Christian will look to get back on the winning track on Wednesday as the Evangels will take on Bethel (Kan.) and Sterling (Kan.) in a tri-match in North Newton, Kan. The Evangels will take on the host Threshers at 4 p.m. before wrapping up the evening against the Warriors at 6 p.m.
